‘What’s the future of football?’ asks NAB in latest sporting push
NAB and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne have promoted the future of Australian football with ‘Tomorrow’s Game’ campaign.
The 30-second television commercial asks players, fans and coaches what the future of football looks like with answers ranging from “there will be another golden generation” to “you’ll be told which club to support by your grandparents”.
As boring as a nil-all draw
Football wins again!
The future of football is futsal. The T20 version of football to suit the millennial (and beyond) audiences – is fast, exciting, indoors, lots of goals and over in a little more than an hour. The current football hierarchy though sees futsal as a real threat to the traditional game and offers it minimal, if no support (eg funding for national competition and men’s team pulled by FFA and no push for futsal to be included in the Olympics by FIFA.
You only need to look at the success in individual countries like Spain, Italy, Russia and South American countries like Brazil to know what a massive part of the future of football futsal is.
Football will continue on the the present declining trajectory until skill level, coaching quality, game tempo improve a lot. And will stay on this path until the football haters show all football codes respect. And that Includes people at corporate and government levels.
I live in Tassie, an AFL state. The money lavished on cricket and AFL grounds when compared with soccer grounds it is a disgrace, biased and unfair.
More youth players should be given a shot at senior competition. Why did Brisbane Roar bring back Henriques, he is not te player he was. Do we not a young player that can do The same job.
Footballers are playing against the world and needs world quality athletes, alas these in this country are playing the parochial games that in a world sense don’t mean not much. Thanks heaps to Foxtel and SBS for their support when others are to parochial to care. Why no Football in the Commonwealth Games, an opportunity missed to get it on free to air if it is allowed.
